And you know i dont shy away from the concept of class warfare. not one bit! there was a time period that labor and big wealth squabled for squable sake but really where rowing together at end of day and both where better off. that was the era every GM worker proudly wore their "heartbeat of America" jackets everywhere. Workers were proud of where they worked, they where loyal to them and their employer was to them. And not to spund like donald trump or a 5 year old but they started the class warfare again. we where happy making a fair living and them being wealthy. then when wealth wastnt enough and they figured if they could shrink our share they could keep more... we are fighting class warfare from a defensive stance. we need Bernie to bring us back together and once formed back up, go on offensive in class warfare.

I could not agree more; our social contract was broken along with the unions and passing tax cuts for the rich in the 1980s under Reagan. The ball has been rolling downhill for the middle class ever since.

This must end, and the only way it ends is by outlawing big money in politics.

I propose that political contributions be made only by registered voters and that any other entity is ineligible (like foreign governments under today's rules!) under pain of severe and mandatory punishment of those responsible. The maximum individual contribution must be no more than one day's pay at the national median wage, so as to be affordable by all.

At base, our country is being bought and therefore run by those who bought themselves the right to corrupt our system 'legally'. Until this situation is righted, WE DO NOT HAVE DEMOCRACY. The most recent election is proof enough of that.

Frankly, I think he represents what the democratic party should be much more accurately than Shillary. Sooooooooo why shouldn't he?

I have decided to now move forward. I hope that the Dem now put up an even more progressive choice. If that is Bernie and he is still alive I will support him. I would prefer Warren. she is a firecracker

Bernie has largely been a huge reality check on our political system. More of that is welcome.
Both candidates invoked Sanders in the live debate. How's that for relevant. Albeit after he was largely postured as being our cooky old socialist grandpa.

Obama campaigned on ending wars and closing Guantanimo.... meanwhile.... yet the DNC banked on this same complacent vote for Hillary, it wasn't there.

I'd give him another 4 because it hasn't been anything close to the complete disaster as the opposition said it would be should he be elected.

It was there, it was there for change.

Obama was the change president and the very same who voted him, voted Trump.

They voted Bernie but as soon as he was taken away, they went to the next best..Trump.

Change needs to come through..Sanders, Warren, Ellison..not Clinton, Kaine, Dean.

You didn't vote for Bernie, you voted for Hillary, like Bernie did.

You're not part of the "solution", you're part of the very problem you're bitching on about.

At least Padawan and tty stayed true to their beliefs.

How do YOU know how they voted?

The 'problem' was that 50% of the electorate STAYED home..let that sink in.

Not to mention, I'm not the one bitching, YOU are..

The turnout numbers weren't that low relative to other elections in recent memory. Keep trying to make your "let that sink in", "wake up" bullshit points.
